ASUS N550JX, i7 4720HQ, 8GB RAM, GTX950m 2GB
Just ported my Ninja Gaiden Sigma game to the RPCS3 emulator to see if my laptop can handle it. Turn out it can, but the CPU temps are always between 75-81'C. Is this still safe for my CPU? Can i play at this temperature for 2 hours straight every day without damaging anything? Asking in general, not just for this game and this emulator.
Also, while playing Ninja Gaiden my GPU is at 60'C and uses only like 360MB (never using even half of its full power), while my CPU runs between 2.4GHz and 3.6GHZ (using its max power). When playing PC games it's the same thing, the CPU works its butt off, while the GPU never gives more than 50% of its max capabilities. Is this normal? I'd expect the GPU to take some load of the CPU when things get that way. It really feels like my GPU is slacking off and leaving all the work to the CPU. I know that emulators are more CPU demanding, but the same happens in PC games as well. Even when i raise the graphical details in a game (which I'd expect to be almost completely GPU dependent), it just puts visibly more stress on the CPU, while the GPU temps raise just a bit and the usage goes from like 900MB to not even 1GB. I mean it's just a 2GB GPU, you'd expect it to be overheating when playing something a bit more demanding. Is this normal or do i need to tweak something in the NVIDIA panel?
